摘要：There are various biometric features for personal identification but Fingerprints are today the most widely used biometricfeatures for the same. Many automatic systems are there for fingerprint enhancement which is based on ridges and valleys. Automaticfingerprint recognition system is totally based on Fingerprint enhancement. It is necessary to choose the suitable enhancementtechnique for fingerprint, in order to reduce the post-processing part of the fingerprint recognition system. Different FingerprintEnhancement techniques have been discussed in this work. These different methods are used by which the image quality is enhancedand Fingerprint Matching techniques are applied. These algorithms contribute to recognize the person and provide authenticity on thebasis of physiological or behavioral characteristic possessed by the user. But, author’s focus is on the methods of enhancement. Byhaving the proper analysis of all the existing methods and algorithms, author can review the literature of fingerprint imageenhancement methods, so as to design a new advanced and modified method for the same. With the help of these techniques we canprepare a system which is helpful to enhance the watermarked fingerprints
